EMMERDALE fans went wild on Friday night at the sight of Pete Barton in a towel.

The adulterous farmer - who is played by actor Anthony Quinlan in the ITV soap - was seen wandering around his hotel suite in just a towel after romping with Maid of Honour Priya Sharma after calling off his wedding to Leyla Harding.

"Oh hello Pete!" wrote another, adding: "@Emmerdale thought there was a hot body under his clothes."

Another said: "Put your clothes on Pete... I'm having hot flushes!"

However, while viewers were thrilled, Leyla was not as she walked in on Pete and Priya after their night of passion, though luckily for them they didn't realise anything was amiss.

In last night's episode Pete didn't just end his relationship, he also decided to use the bridal suite to reignite his affair with Priya and make use of it.

As Priya went to collect the gifts to return them to the guests, Pete was there to stay in the room with him unable to go home to Leyla.

The pair rowed about what had happened, before things took a turn.

You're still wearing the suit you were going to marry my best friend in yet you're looking at me like I'm all you need," thundered Priya as the tension rose.

With that the pair kissed and lost all chance of getting their deposit back for the room.
